Hell begins on the day when God grants us a clear vision of all that we might have achieved, of all the gifts which we have wasted, of all that we might have done which we did not do” ~ Gian Carlo Menotti
Dare to dream lofty dreams; aspire to them and they will give birth to your vision. Your vision is your divine promise — a glorious ideal shaping your destiny. Your noblest ideals foreshadow what you shall be one day. You will change. What change will you unveil to the world?
Vision brings clarity; we take enormous potential and develop possibilities. We simply see what is invisible to others. Action brings possibility into probability; the outcome is by Divine Grace. Often as individuals we be cry assaults on our freedom. Freedom can only be enjoyed by the truly free. We are not truly free. We are most usually imprisoned by our own angst and desperation. Too often we live in confines of the niche we design for ourselves through limiting thoughts, negative emotions and cultural prejudices. These mental and behavioral confines obscure our vision and magnanimous possibilities become invisible.
Being visionary is answering the call to our better selves we foster the ideals that construct models of justice and fairness. The oppressed, the earth and the heavens are calling us, you and I, to be something more.
“You may say I’m a dreamer; but I am not the only one.” John Lennon
Dare to Realize to be Empowered and Actualize the Moment of your Success.
We have observed those moments when a person basks in a moment of joy and accomplishment. Many of us have experienced moments like this in our own lives. These moments of achievement do not just happen. Somewhere deep within the threshold of our being and mind we dared to believe that we could reach a lofty goal –a dream. A dream is a vision and a goal so clear in all its facets that you can picture it in your mind’s eye. It is vivid in sleep; a dream foreshadows our waking thoughts. A dream is not an illusion. Illusions are deceptions they cause one to believe something that is not true; things are not actually as they appear. A dream is very different from illusion.
A dream is not fantasy. A fantasy is a whimsical idea or fascination that no effort and true investment of self is given. Like an illusion the fantasy is a deception because no commitment or effort is put forth to bring about the achievement.
A dream is more than fantasy. A dream is more than illusion. A dream is empowering.
A dream empowers us to move forward with patience and hard work towards that we see clearly in our mind. It is an imperative that captures our heart and spirit. A dream is a precursor to a moment to be born in the reality of our experience. The dream taps our deepest desire and inspires us to take the actions necessary for its manifestation. A true dream is a prophetic moment of our life to come. When we truly dream we know that the inevitable day will come; when one’s whole being is filled with all the joy and emotion of accomplishment.
A dream is a given juncture in our life experience where our inner world –our dream and the outer world of our experience become inseparable. A dream is also a moment when what we believe and see are achieved. All too soon that moment of ebullience will become a memory. And that memory can spur us to dare to dream again. Understand and know the power of dreams and one will dare to dream again and move forward to further heights of success. Knowing that not illusion; not fantasy but dreams give birth to success.
Let’s keep hope and promise alive within us; keep knocking on those doors of opportunity; keep asking how can I serve – contribute and keep learning, living and loving. Keep yourself well and balanced. Be patient with yourself and others. These are all luminous facets of the jewels we call dreams. Dreams are alive!
